Scientology comprises a body of knowledge which extends from certain fundamental truths. Prime among these truths:

Man is an immortal spiritual being.

His experience extends well beyond a single lifetime.

His capabilities are unlimited, even if not presently realized.

Scientology further holds man to be basically good, and that his spiritual salvation
depends upon himself and his fellows and his attainment of brotherhood with
the universe. In that regard, Scientology is a religious philosophy in the
most profound sense of the word, for it is concerned with no less than the
full rehabilitation of man's innate spiritual self — his capabilities,
his awareness and his certainty of his own immortality. Furthermore, as religion
deals with the spirit in relationship to itself, the universe and other life,
and is essentially the belief in spiritual beings, Scientology follows a religious
tradition that is at least as old as mankind. Yet what Scientology ultimately
represents is new. Its religious technology is new, its ecclesiastical organization
is new, and what it means to the 21st century is entirely new.

At the heart of Scientology lie its axioms that precisely define the fundamental
laws and truths of life, including who we are, what we are capable of, and
most importantly, how we might realize our native spiritual abilities. These
axioms form the foundation of a vast body of wisdom that applies to the entirety
of all life. From this wisdom has come a great number of fundamental principles
people can use to improve their immediate lives, as well as to achieve spiritual
immortality. In fact, there is no aspect of life that cannot be improved through
the application of Scientology principles.
